had that album,when I was 12,to young to appreciate it and swapped it for a Hendrix live album...regret that...hard to get Beefheart and Zappa in vinyl now...here's one of my faves.Anyway,I used to wag Army Reserves,go to my teachers house...and English one.We'd smoke pot all night listening to Zappa and The Velvets...cool days.I did well in my exams too...

best song and clip from same concert...besides The Dangerous Kitchen...brilliance this guy.Think the video's called "Is There Room For Humour In Music"...I had to get friends to tape it 1986,cause SBS was bad reception on the Central Coast back then,sweet fuckall National reception back then...

Lyrics:

"Fall In Love With Me"

You look so good to me
Here in this old saloon
Way back in West Berlin
A bottle of white wine
White wine and you
A table made of wood
And how I wish you would
Fall in love with me
You look so good to me
Standing out in the street
With your cheap fur on
Or maybe your plastic raincoat
And your plastic shoes
They look good too
Standing in the snow
You're younger than you look
Fall in love with me
Fall in love with me
How I wish you would
A table made of wood
And a, a bottle of white wine
And you, and a bottle of white wine and you
And when you're standing
In the street and it's cold
And it snows on you
And you look younger than you really are

I wish you would
Fall in love with me
I wish you would
Fall in love with me
I wish you would
Fall in love with me
I wish you would
Fall in love with me yeah, yeah

The way your eyes are black
The way your hair is black
The way your heart is young
There's just a few like you
Just the kind I need
To fall in love with me
Oh and you look so good
Oh yes you look so good

A bottle of white wine
A cigarette and you
Here in this saloon
White wine and you
I wish you'd fall in love with me
I wish you'd fall in love with me
'Cause there's just a few like you
So young and real
There's just a few like you
So young and real
Fall in love with me [x4]
I wish you would
You look so good
Oh when you're young at heart
There's just a few like you
You're young at heart
Won't you
Come to this old saloon
Come to my waiting arms
A table made of wood
And I will look at you
'Cause you're so young and pure
And you're young at heart
You're young at heart
A bottle of white wine

And when you're tumbling down
You just look better
When you're tumbling down
You just look finer



...for you sweetheart...I'm getting my act together...I won't give up on life or you...get in touch...you're everything to me...run away,where ever you want to go...and live.

"Sweet Sixteen"

Sweet Sixteen in leather boots
Body and soul I go crazy
Baby, baby I'm hungry Sweet Sixteen

Funky bar all full of faces
Pretty faces, beautiful faces
Body and soul, body and soul, I give to you

I am an easy mark
With my broken heart Sweet Sixteen

Show you my explosion Sweet Sixteen

Go out to the funky bar
I get hurt- crying inside
'Cause everybody's so fine and
And they don't need me

Tell me, what can I do, Sweet Sixteen?

I give you my body and soul Sweet Sixteen

I must be hungry
'Cause I go crazy
Over your leather boots

Now baby, I know
That's not normal
Well, I love you, I love you, I love you<, Sweet Sixteen

Everywhere I go, I'm lonely..


...I suppose you can see where this is going...when you're finished school darling,unless you want to get pregnant like the other year 12 girls...you know I give cuties,it was'nt your butt ugly aunt that made my daughter darl...that's my blue-print...just check out her personality...and looks...that's light,life...the best you can get...

...for non Aussies,Year 12 at school,is like senior year or college high in America.(USA)

"Some Weird Sin"

Well, I never got my license to live
They won't give it up
So I stand at the world's edge

I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
And the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin

Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
But the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with

Yeah, some dumb, weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some Weird Sin

Things get too straight
I can't bear it
I feel stuck, stuck on a pin

I'm trying to break in
Oh, I know it's not for me
When the sight of it all
Makes me sad and ill
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
That's when I want- Some Weird Sin
Just to relax with

That's some dumb weird sin
For a while anyway
With my head out on the ledge
That's what you get out on the edge
Some Weird sin

Some weird sin, Some weird sin, etc



...the very reason I use hallucinogenics just to get by..."and the sight of it all,makes me sad and ill,that's when I want,some weird sin"...another of top order drug songs.

I called this number three times already today
But I, I got scared, I put
It back in place, I put my phone back in place.
I still don't know if I
should have called up.
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place.
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I had
never even called up this place.
I saw you though today walk by with hippie Johnny.
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place.
So this phone call today conerns hippie Johnny.
He's always stoned, he's never straight.
I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny.
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place.
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny.
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place.
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny.
But I'm straight
and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm proud to say
Well I'm straight and I want to take his place.

Now I've watched you walk around here.
I've watched you meet these
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep.
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great,
tell me, why can't they at least take this place
and take it straight? Why always stoned,
like hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is.
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm
I'm straight and I want to take his place
All right you Modern Lovers what do you say?
(I'm straight!)
Tell the world now
(I'm straight!)
I said
(I'm straight!)
Yeah I'm straight and I want to take his place.




one of the best songs about jealousy...and unreciprocated attention...and kind of inspired the name of that hairy dude that runs Infinite Love Forum...

The best Modern Lovers song ever,he's the bravest of all...think about it.



hey girls, do you hate men?
do you hate the earth?
Well I still see tenderness in your face
and innocence straight from infant days
and there must be tenderness deep inside
you're so cold, but it shows

you told me about school
I only want to know about you
and it hurts me now
and it scares me now
and now you know

but if you care about me
(tell me now)
if I'm better than the wall
(tell me now)
and if it's important when I touch your hand
then you'd better
tell me now

well

now, i've just read some writers
from the old days
because I knew, I knew that they'd understand
because dignity, dignity and tenderness should apply
to modern romance
So i don't wanna know, I'm just not interested in you're school
So i don't wanna know, I don't wanna hear about you're stupid cats
(or you're homework)
just talk about love, or sex, or starving hearts, or just shut up
and I'll go

but

if you care about me
(tell me now)
if I'm better than the wall
(tell me now)
and if it's important when I touch you're hand
(tell me now)
and if it's important when I come to you're kitchen
when it's late at night
and when it's cold at night
when it's dark outside
when it's cold outside
I wanna know if it's important when I touch your hand
when you're all alone
(tell me now)
if you really want to talk to me
(tell me now)
and if you're lookin for a lover
(tell me now)
I mean, if you need a lover
(tell me now)
if you're ready to be honest with a lover
(tell me now)
if it's important when you're alone at night
and when it's cold at night and when it's dark at night
when it's cold outside when it's sad outside
and when I'm sad outside, by the streetlight
by your house and near your kitchen door
I'm stumped because I'm scared
Because I'm sad
Because it's cold at night
Because it's dark at night
and I'm alone at night
I'm so sad and I'm so scared
and I want to know, if you'll tell me
if you care about me
then if you care about yourself
and if you'll stop taking drugs
and if you'll stop bein so hard
and if you'll stop being hard to talk to
and if you'll let me come inside
and I can talk to you
when it's dark at night
and when it's sad at night
and alone at night
I don't want to be alone at night
(tell me now)
I don't want to be sad at night
(tell me now)
I want to help you
when it's cold outside
when you're all around
when it's sad outside
I want you to tell me now
I can't wait another day
you gotta hurry
I can't wait another minute
It's now or never
It's now or never
you gotta tell
you gotta tell
you can't hide
or take drugs
or cigarettes
or dark outside
or cats
or these other things that you use
so I can't see you clear
I want to see you clear
I want to talk to you now
you've got to be honest now
you've got to tell me now
if you care about me
tell me now

wait a minute
wait a minute
I want to say, I want to say somethin else now
wait a minute
I want to show you that I understand you now
(this is the guy talkin to the girlfriend)
he's gonna show you, he's gonna show you that he understands the deepest darkest parts
when he says ...

He says I know how beautiful death is
and I know why you hate life
but I'm just a tender soul
so be glad you know

I want to tell ya
that all men are just tender souls
and be glad that you know




...should get a standing ovation...this could change men and the world,but that's just me...

lightly feeling came over me
feeling lightly to help me see

little window don't feel blue
she's never coming back because of

here a much better version,live in Montreal 2007,favourite song at the moment...still can't post the studio version,but will keep searching,true beauty...Julie Doiran on vocals.

...this song's for my niece.Although,I love you dearly and this is a desperate act,cause we're not allowed to speak together,let alone,take a walk,just enjoy each others company,I know the futility of the situation,unless we run away together to Europe,where love has no barriers with age,as long as both are over consent.I said alot of sexual things just to rile your father,but understanding to you.I love you sweetheart and would'nt parade you like some trophy,I'm just trying to force his hand,so he gives you a bit of freedom,even let you have a boyfriend your own age,even if it hurts and I won't interfere,unless he hits you,or worse.
But anytime you want me,you just call and I'll come running.If your heart is with me and you feel no shame...take me,I'm yours forever.Love,Uncle Billy...

Valerie please believe
It never could work out
The time to make plans
Has passed, faded away

Oooh the way you look
Makes my starry eyes shiver
Then I look away
Too much for one day

One thing we share
Is an ideal of beauty
Treasure so rare
That even devils might care

Your swimming-pool eyes
In sea breezes they flutter
The coconut tears
Heavy-lidded they shed
Swaying palms at your feet
You're the pride of your street

While you worship the sun
Summer lover of fun
Gold number with neighbours

Who said that you'll go far
Maybe someday be a star
A fast mover like you
And your dreams will all come true

All of my hope, and my inspiration
I drew from you
Our life's patterns drawn in sand
But the winds could not erase
The memory of your face

Deep in the night
Plying very strange cargo
Our soul-ships pass by
Solo trips to the stars - in the sky

Gliding so far
That the eye cannot follow
Where do they go
We'll never know

I was going to post The Holiday Song and Nimrods Son by The Pixies for the exact same reason...it kind of delves into incestuous fuckups,but thankyou,Frank Black,being lead singer of The Pixies,I just got to say,good show old son...

One night upon my motorcycle through the desert spead
And smashed my body so that all my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head
"You are the son of a mother fucker"

One two three four

I shook all night and held her hand
Chocolate people well I'll be damned
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please
Bury me

Ha-haaa
The joke has come upon me

In my motorcycle mirror I think about the life I've led
And how my soul's been aking all the holes where I have bled
My image spoke to me, yes to me and often said
"You are the son of incestuous union"

One two three

Now my head is clear
My luke hands washed
My daughter's pure
My son is tall
Land of plenty, land of fun
To find out I'm Nimrod's son

Oh bury me
Far away please
Bury me

Ha-ha Ha-ha

The joke has come upon me
